Surrounded by the love of her family in a quiet room high above the city, Jacqueline Irene Gore’s spirit moved from this realm into the next in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 11th. Jackie was born near London, England on April 24th, 1944. As a young child she spent time in both England [...]

I shot this one a few weeks ago from the terrace on our apartment rooftop. The forrest fire smoke was making the sunsets particularly vibrant that week. Camera Canon EOS 10D Exposure 0.004 sec (1/250) Aperture f/13.0 Focal Length 50 mm ISO Speed 400

Here is what the downtown core looks like with just 5 days left until the games. There are tons of international athletes already wondering the streets in uniform and getting their pictures taken by the locals and tourists alike. In fact I ran into CTV Newsnet anchor Tom Clark at Japadog too and he informed me [...]

This is the first time I have noticed the official Olympic US Network here in Vancouver. It almost looked like the many movie sets around town where we put stickers like this to masqueraded as a US city. Not this time though the big cock is in town for real. I did notice that they [...]

After the show Denise took Noah to the playground and I made my pilgrimage to the Santa Barbara Deli. It is by far [...]
